What is data analytics?

Data is a group of facts that can take many different forms, such as numbers, pictures, words, videos, observations, and more. Data analytics is the collection, transformation, and organization of these facts in order to draw conclusions, make predictions, and drive informed decision making. Companies need data analysts to sort through this data to help make decisions about their products, services or business strategies.

Why start a career in data analytics?

<text variant="body1">The amount of data created each day is tremendous. Any time you use your phone, look up something online, stream music, shop with a credit card, post on social media, or use GPS to map a route, you’re creating data. Companies must continually adjust their products, services, tools, and business strategies to meet consumer demand and react to emerging trends. Because of this, data analyst roles are in demand and competitively paid. <text variant="body1">Data analysts make sense of data and numbers to help organizations make better business decisions. They prepare, process, analyze, and visualize data, discovering patterns and trends and answering key questions along the way. Their work empowers their wider team to make better business decisions.

Why enroll in the Google Data Analytics Certificate?

<text variant="body1">You will learn the skill set required for becoming a junior or associate data analyst in the Google Data Analytics Certificate. Data analysts know how to ask the right question; prepare, process, and analyze data for key insights; effectively share their findings with stakeholders; and provide data-driven recommendations for thoughtful action. <text variant="body1">You’ll learn these job-ready skills in our certificate program through interactive content (discussion prompts, quizzes, and activities) in under six months, with under 10 hours of flexible study a week. Along the way, you'll work through a curriculum designed with input from top employers and industry leaders, like Tableau, Accenture, and Deloitte. You’ll even have the opportunity to complete a case study that you can share with potential employers to showcase your new skill set. <text variant="body1">After you’ve graduated from the program, you’ll have access to career resources and be connected directly with employers hiring for open entry-level roles in data analytics.

What background is required?

No prior experience with spreadsheets or data analytics required. All you need is high school level math and curiosity about how things work.

Do you need to be strong at math to succeed in this certificate?

You don't need to be a math all-star to succeed in the certificate. You need to be curious, and open to learning with numbers (the language of data analysts). Being a strong data analyst is more than just math, it's like about asking the right questions, finding the best sources to answer your question effectively and illustrating your findings clearly in visualizations.

What tools or platforms are included in the curriculum?

You'll learn to use analysis tools and platforms such as spreadsheets (Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel), SQL, presentation tools (Powerpoint or Google Slides), Tableau, Python, and Kaggle.

Which "spreadsheet" platform is being taught?

Learners can self-select which platform they want to use throughout the program, Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel. It’s entirely up to the learner’s preference, and all activities throughout the syllabus can be performed on either platform.

Do you need to take each course in course order?

We highly recommend completing the courses in the order presented because the content in each course builds on information from earlier lessons.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

This course is the seventh course in the Google Data Analytics Certificate. The Python programming language is a powerful tool for data analysis. In this course, you’ll learn the basic concepts of Python programming and how data professionals use Python on the job. You'll explore concepts such as object-oriented programming, variables, data types, functions, conditional statements, loops, and data structures.

Google employees who currently work in the field will guide you through this course by providing hands-on activities that simulate relevant tasks, sharing examples from their day-to-day work, and helping you enhance your data analytics skills to prepare for your career. Learners who complete this certificate program will be equipped to apply for introductory-level jobs as data analysts. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will: -Define what a programming language is and why Python is used by data scientists -Create Python scripts to display data and perform operations -Control the flow of programs using conditions and functions -Utilize different types of loops when performing repeated operations -Identify data types such as integers, floats, strings, and booleans -Manipulate data structures such as , lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets -Import and use Python libraries such as NumPy and pandas

单元详情

You’ll discover the main features and benefits of the Python programming language, and how Python can help power your data analysis. Python is an object-oriented programming language based on objects that contain data and useful code. You’ll become familiar with the core concepts of object-oriented programming: object, class, method, and attribute. You’ll learn about Jupyter Notebooks, an interactive environment for coding and data work. You’ll investigate how to use variables and data types to store and organize your data; and, you'll begin practicing important coding skills.
